but in a lot of charities, using volunteer time is difficult. so you really have to look at the charity, look at what their doing, and see if your time is valuable. if you're going to volunteer, don't just do it once. do it multiple times, because by the time you train a volunteer and they disappear, it is expensive. >> tom: eileen, given the debate in washington over the fiscal cliff, are your clients seeing any impacts on donations due to expected higher income taxes next year? >> we're seeing accelerated donations. i think people are unsure about what the taxes are going to be on charitable gifts next year. as a result of that, they would rather do something, they can gift when they know what the deductions going to be, rather than having it be a mystery. we're seeing accelerated giving, which is great, but hopefully there be a lot of charity next year as well. >> tom: eileen heisman along with us, she's with the national philanthropic trust. >> thanks. >> susie: tomorrow on nbr, honeywell c.e.o. david cote will be on capitol hill talking wit

we have this so-called fiscal cliff emergency that is before us. if that fails to be resolved, you'll see a level of contraction in all hands on deck activities. it will be very disturbing. >> suzanne: if there is no deal on this fiscal cliff, what does that mean for your business? >> i think it will be very, very damaging to a consumer discretionary business, and others similar to it. because you'll see an immediate reduction in economic activity, of the sort we have not run into since the arab oil embargo, where all of a sudden, on a precise moment, economic activity will slow very substantially. you can see a period where it begins to slow even in anticipation of that. i think for a business like ours, that people don't have to do, they're doing it out of discretionary monies, it will be very damaging. >> suzanne: congress is saying if there is no fiscal cliff, it could push the economy into a recession. how are you preparing for that? would that mean layoffs at caesar's? >> it will mean reduction in hours for our employees. we reduced in 2008,
